Biography
Ragnall ua Imair was the grandson of Ivar the Boneless, and he was among the Vikings expelled from Dublin in 902. He came to rule territory in southern Scotland and the Isle of Man, and, in 917, he and his kinsman Sihtric Caech returned to Ireland with separate fleets. Sihtric recaptured Dublin and established himself as king, while Ragnall returned to England. In 918, Ragnall's victory over Constantine II of Scotland at Corbridge allowed him to capture York and become King of Northymbre. A group of Christian Viking rivals fled to Mercia, seeking Anglo-Saxon support against Ragnall's takeover. In 920, Ragnall came to an agreement with Edward the Elder, King of Wessex, making peace with himm. Ragnall died in 921, and Sihtric succeeded him as King.
